Backyard Haiku Week #10

History shows us

The cruelty that greed and

Avarice can bring

(slave quarters, Kingsley Plantation, Jacksonville, Florida)

###

The mighty live oaks

Tower over us in size,

In age, and beauty

(Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation, Darien, GA)

###

Sometimes our travel

Tell us more about ourselves

Than the place we go.

(Charleston, South Carolina)

###

Ghosts of tortured lives

Whisper in the old rice fields

Slaves still not at rest

(Cape Romain, SC)
